The domain's ''kura yashiki'', or storehouse, was located along the canals in Shiba 5-chôme, a short distance from the Shiba ''kami-yashiki''. The site is today the location of the Daiichi Tamachi Building.
This mansion was the site of a significant meeting between [[Saigo Takamori|Saigô Takamori]] and [[Katsu Kaishu|Katsu Kaishû]], at which Katsu presented the [[Tokugawa shogunate|Tokugawa shogunate's]] formal capitulation to Saigô, thus halting Saigô's plans to take Edo castle by force. A monument to Saigô's and Katsu's success in making the fall of Edo relatively bloodless stands today on the site.
